Chapter 30: Relationships and Face



It turned out that Zheng Rou still wanted to speak for Mai Hui.

She hoped that Chen Feng and Mai Hui would let bygones be bygones.

If possible, she also hoped that Chen Feng could make a demo of the new song that he had planned to sell to Ho Ka Kei for Ho Ka Kei to listen to.

If Chen Feng had been like before, he would have definitely evaded the issue so as to avoid dealing with Mai Hui again, but this time it was impossible.

This was why he didn't want to ask for help.

Once you ask someone for help, you will owe them a favor and you will have no choice.

The older you get, the less you live like yourself.

"No problem, Sister Rou, when I perfect this song, I will definitely look for Ho Ka Kei."

"That's a deal."

In fact, Zheng Rou also did something that was not quite in line with the rules.

She showed the DEMO of "Boring" to Mai Fai and He Jiaqi, and Mai Fai really regretted it at that time.

Usually, singers are stronger than creators.

But when the creator's strength reaches a certain level, the relationship between the two sides will be reversed.

A top-notch song can make a new singer popular overnight, and can also make an outdated singer turn over a new leaf.

This is also the reason why Lu Wei clearly does not need Chen Feng's songs for the time being, but still lets Zheng Rou maintain her relationship with Chen Feng.

He Jiaqi is not young anymore, and her star path has shown a trend this year, otherwise she would not have stayed in the nightclub in Hanzhou for three days.

If she can get a work of the same level as "Boring", let alone going to a higher level, at least she doesn't have to run around to maintain her popularity this year.

Chen Feng asked for a favor and sold one.

He reconciled with He Jiaqi and Mai Hui for Zheng Rou's sake, so the other party owed Zheng Rou in return.

This is a deal.

There is another reason why Chen Feng is not in a hurry to sell the song now and has to continue to drag it out.

Although his "strength" is very strong, he has not proven himself in the industry after all.

If he signs a contract now, even if the other party begs him, I'm afraid the price he offers will not be too high.

Chen Feng has to wait until "Boring" is officially released and let the outside world hear this voice. Then, if He Jiaqi doesn't spend some money, she won't be able to buy "It's Late at Night".

Chen Feng only said that he would show the other party the demo, but he didn't say that he must sell it.

The next day, Zhong Lei got up earlier than Chen Feng.

Anyway, there was no point in rushing today. After getting the news in the afternoon, in order to control costs, the two chose to take the bus to Q Music's headquarters.

As an important division of the country's leading Internet company, Q Music's office is also located at the company's headquarters.

After arriving, the two were shocked by the giant headquarters consisting of six huge buildings.

These six buildings are at least fifty stories high on average, with a glass exterior structure and exquisite design. They are magnificent and full of a strong sense of modern technology, and they also contain a sense of design that blows over.

It is said that the design fee paid by this Internet giant for the design of this headquarters alone is as high as nine figures.

Rao was always fearless, and Zhong Lei also shuddered.

"Do you think we can get through the gate?"

she asked.

Chen Feng glanced at the eight uniformed security guards standing upright at the door, and answered decisively: "You definitely can't get in now, but someone will come to invite us in in the afternoon."

Zhong Lei was shocked, "Why?"

"No reason, I told you to just listen quietly."

Zhong Lei shook her head, "I don't believe it."

This time it was Chen Feng's turn to roll his eyes, "My beauty, you've lost to me twice in a row. I suggest you think about it carefully. I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language. Because you really have nothing to bet on now."

Zhong Lei felt uncomfortable for a long time, and said rather aggrievedly: "I believe it."

"Isn't that right?"

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Feng's phone finally rang.

"Hey? Hello, are you Mr. Chen? I'm Ma Tianhua, yes, are you already outside the company? That's great, wait for me for ten minutes, I'll be out right away."

It's really easy to get things done when you have someone in the court.

Chen Feng paid the price and finally got respect.

Ma Tianhua also gave Zheng Rou enough face, and his tone was full of politeness.

"This... is it done? You knew this person before? Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Zhong Lei, who was following behind Chen Feng

, was speechless. Chen Feng shook his head without further explanation.

After the two parties met, Ma Tianhua led the two people inside without any courtesy, and arranged for the secretary to let the two people wait in the conference room first. He immediately asked the relevant colleagues from the Copyright Department to come together to discuss the details of the contract.

It was so fast, so efficient.

Ten minutes later, the formal talk started, everyone introduced themselves to each other, and then they started listening to songs.

Chen Feng took out a player and copied the DEMO to the vice president who was in charge of reviewing songs.

Before joining Q Music, this vice president was also a well-known creator and critic in the domestic music circle.

It is said that his music appreciation ability is at least in the top five in the country, and he is a real boss.

The vice president did not shy away and put on headphones to listen on the spot.

After listening, he could not see any expression on his face. He waited for a few more minutes before opening his eyes. After that, he did not rush to make a comment, but winked at Ma Tianhua.

Ma Tianhua apologized with a smile, "I'm sorry, I forgot one thing. In situations like this we usually have to discuss it internally first. Please wait a few minutes."

Eight minutes later, Ma Tianhua and the deputy director and his team came back.

Sitting down again, Ma Tianhua said, "Mr. Chen, Ms. Zhong. The quality of this song has indeed fully met the standards of our company for signing new songs. Please take a look at this contract."

Chen Feng took the contract and was about to open it.

Ma Tianhua said, "Of course, although the song is very good, you must also know that our company is large in scale, so there is naturally a very strict management system inside, and everything must be done according to rules and regulations. Although the song is good, Mr. Chen and Ms. Zhong are both newcomers in the industry, so we can only sign a C-level contract first."

Chen Feng frowned.

Although this was already expected by him, he was still disappointed when Ma Tianhua really said it.

Seeing this, Ma Tianhua smiled and said, "Don't worry, gold will always shine. When this song is released, as long as it can achieve satisfactory performance, we will continue to add publicity resources."

Chen Feng nodded silently, without making any comment, and just looked down at the contract.

Four core points.

37% profit sharing, early C-level resources, no subsequent new song binding, and the streaming media copyright of the song "Boring" is locked for a five-year period.

These conditions were basically within Chen Feng's expectations.

It can be signed, but it is not necessary.

But fortunately, Chen Feng made two plans.

He opened his briefcase and took out a printout, "Mr. Ma, to tell you the truth. Before coming to Yucheng, our local band KuGe had been actively contacting us. But we believe in Qyin's strength and reputation, so we took a special flight to come here. Mr. Ma, please take a look, this is the contract KuGe has given us. This time, we really come with sincerity and really want to achieve real cooperation."

Chen Feng's behavior was beyond Ma Tianhua's expectations. He picked up the contract in surprise, quickly glanced through it, and couldn't help but secretly click his tongue.

Later, he would occasionally glance at Zhong Lei with a puzzled look.

Ma Tianhua was a little confused.

The terms of KuGe's contract were really too generous!

If there was no stamp on this printout, Ma Tianhua would still be a little bit unbelievable.

It's totally unreasonable!

This is not the treatment for a newcomer at all!

The vice president just said that the voice of this female singer is indeed very unique.

Judging from the quality alone, this song is not much inferior to those of popular superstars with A-level contracts, and it is even better.

But it is inevitable that newcomers will suffer some losses when they debut.

In addition, although the song is good, she has not proven herself after all. Opening a C-level contract is enough insurance and is not insulting. This is a very reasonable market situation.

But now it seems that the same rough gem has been set eyes on by KuGe, and is ready to bet heavily!

"Please wait a moment, both of you. I suddenly remembered that I have something to report to the leader."

Ma Tianhua left again.

This was of course an excuse. He actually went out to contact his undercover agent in KuGe, and asked the undercover agent working in the copyright department of KuGe to verify whether this matter was true.

Three minutes later, he received a reply.

It was true!

Ten minutes later, Ma Tianhua returned to the conference room again, and his attitude was three times more enthusiastic than before.

This time he listened to the DEMO again and was more certain of his judgment.

Ma Tianhua would never admit that Q Music was not as good as KuGe in discovering potential talents.

But this time, he really said that he had to admit it.

Damn Lin Youyi is so courageous!

But fortunately, the other party recognized our Q Music more.

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Zhong, please take a look at this contract."

This time, he finally took out a Class B contract.

Strictly speaking, this is Class B+.

In addition to the rigid resource matching to reach Class B, the traffic dividend is also directly benchmarked against Class A at 50-50!

In addition, there is an additional signing fee, a one-time payment of 50,000.

This money is not much, but it is a symbol of status.

Normally, only Class A contracts will get signing bonuses.

But this time, special arrangements were made.

Although the mosquito legs are small, that is only for the wealthy Q Yin, but for Chen Feng and Zhong Lei at the moment, it is a huge sum of money, which can solve their urgent needs!

The two are really embarrassed to say it out, now we are really poor.

The kind of poor that is so poor that the holes in the socks are exposed to the wind.
